I’d occasionally do this about once a month–pull a search log report off the server and see why people are dropping by. Honestly, it was a good way just to make a post; I didn’t have to think to have content, because you good readers gave me the content and a platform to rant, orContinue reading “On Search Phrases”

On a Fortunate Find
I spent part of the afternoon at the storage shed. I wasn’t searching for anything in particular–I hoped to find a book on the history of astronomy I knew I owned and couldn’t find. If I didn’t find it, though, no great loss. I went through box after box. A book on the historical Arthur.Continue reading “On a Fortunate Find”

On Nerdish Insights
From an IM conversation today: mknzyCalhn: I’m racking my brain here — I’m trying to think if Doctor Who has ever done a story about cloning Scavgraphics: new earth mknzyCalhn: you’re right Scavgraphics: also, daleks Scavgraphics: aren’t the mutants clones? mknzyCalhn: well, the mutants are grown in vats, but we don’t know if they’re clonedContinue reading “On Nerdish Insights”
On Watching Doctor Who
While I have “The Sontaran Experiment” and “Genesis of the Daleks” on video tape, last night I tuned in to public television at midnight to watch them. Why? Nostalgia. 🙂 I grew up watching Doctor Who on Saturday afternoons on public television. In high school I watched it late Saturday nights. Doctor Who on publicContinue reading “On Watching Doctor Who”
On Random Questions
Swiped from Keith, a bunch of random questions! In five words, explain what ended your last friendship? He stopped returning my calls. How was your prom night? It was adequate. I went by myself, which is what all the friends in my group did. Do you have any famous relatives? Not that I know of….Continue reading “On Random Questions”
On a Fandom Meme–Doctor Who
Now, Scav‘s up to bat–ten fandom-related questions on Doctor Who. The first character I first fell in love withHarry Sullivan. Jac Rayner in Wolfsbane covers all the reasons why Harry was so cool in a one-paragraph passage near the beginning of the book, so I won’t recount them here. The character I never expected toContinue reading “On a Fandom Meme–Doctor Who”
On Dalek Naughtiness
Had I known about this, I’d probably have wanted to see it: Abducted by the Daleks, a pornographic film in which women are abducted by the Daleks for use as sex slaves. The Sun, a London tabloid, described the film thusly: Dr Who’s foes capture three naked “disco babes” in the 18-rated DVD. They chaseContinue reading “On Dalek Naughtiness”
On the Doctor's Greatest Foes
There’s a rumor that in the upcoming season of Doctor Who there may be a story pitting the Doctor’s two greatest foes against one another–the Daleks and the Cybermen. Sure, it’s a fanwanky concept. That’s the appeal. So, if I were writing a Dalek vs. Cybermen story, this is what I’d do…. Set it duringContinue reading “On the Doctor's Greatest Foes”
December’s Greatest Hits
The top fifteen reasons people checked out allyngibson.com in the month of December. 15. “John Lennon atheist.” I wouldn’t call Lennon an atheist, per se, but he certainly had his issues with organized religion. Witness this quote–“Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I am right, and have been proven right. We’re bigger thanContinue reading “December’s Greatest Hits”
